Tuesday 0705

Happy Tuesday! Happy 186th day of the year and the 81st anniversary of the National Labor Relations Act which was the birth of collective bargaining for America’s work force. I am grateful to be alive and well and happy on this cloudy, summer morning. I’m grateful for sleeping well and waking rested, for my morning coffee, a return to routine and getting things done. I’m grateful for good storytelling and plotlines that draw you in, enjoying a relaxing evening with my sweetheart, for fun movies and the magic of 3D. I’m grateful for a neighborhood of people who check on each other and that no one was injured in the storm yesterday despite the many downed trees and power lines, for the utility company linespeople who repair the damage, for the police who keep traffic moving, for the fire department and all the people who work to keep the rest of us safe. What are you grateful for today?
